$Performance: Egrets, While War | Tishani Doshi in Performance and Conversation with Nikita Gill Indian-Welsh poet, writer and dancer Tishani Doshi performs from Egrets, While War, her fifth collection, a “lyric field guide” to grief and resilience where attention becomes devotion, and intimacy, a quiet resistance. With Nikita Gill, she discusses her collection, weaving environmental loss, ancestral memory, ageing and war, invoking birds as witnesses, tracing survival and the enduring force of love alongside violence. Tishani Doshi writes poetry, fiction, and essays. Her fifth poetry collection, Egrets, While War, explores the body, violence, and renewal in fractured times. A former lead dancer with the Chandralekha company in Madras, she is the author of multiple award-winning and shortlisted books and serves as a visiting professor at NYU Abu Dhabi. Nikita Gill is an Irish-Indian poet, illustrator, performer, and New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author based in the south of England. Her work blends ancient mythology and folklore with contemporary archetypes. Her latest book and play, Hekate, is the first in a trilogy of verse novels and plays and debuted at number one on the New York Times bestseller list.
